Warning! In order to find the following gif even remotely entertaining (or, indeed, comprehensible) you will probably need:

1. Knowledge of a particular childhood song

2. Understanding of the British summer picnic, with their combination of grumbling & determination

3. To be familiar with a particular informal English word (I have no idea how common it is)

Basically this is a pretty awful niche joke & the funniest thing at the moment is me trying not to 'spoil' it with the 3 points above.

This remains the only gif that I've ever uploaded to increase in size when transcoded to an MP4. I knocked the size of the gif down so it's tolerable, but I am genuinely puzzled. I have spent decades making visual assets appropriate file sizes for distribution online; I do not get why this is so bad.

It's like the world is trying to tell me something.

Also, very concerned at being able to use the word "decades" there without it being hyperbole.

I have realised that this post needs a BADUM-TISH
